Easter morning; dawn encounter

I've been experimenting with a technique I've read about in "the Artist". image drawn in pencil; various areas painted in white gouache, some left. Black ink applied and when dry, the image placed under running water; gouache dissolves taking ink with it leaving dark bits. then watercolour washes applied on the light bits.

The image itself is that of the encounter between the Risen Christ and Mary Magdalen in the early dawn light on Easter Sunday. It's part of my meditation and also a visual aid to be used in the hospital chapel tomorrow.
